February Petite Challenge #1--Feelin' Sentimental

In case you just can't wait to get a Posse challenge under your belt for February, I have something to keep ya busy :) It's time to dig out those sentiment stamps and be creative with them. Sure, you could put it on a tag and call it a day. Stamp one underneath an image and color you done. But this challenge is for you to do something creative with your sentiment stamps.....bend those clear polymer stamps and make that sentiment wave and curl, use it to make a frame around your image or card, make some background paper with it....the sky's the limit (which I actually think is a PTI sentiment......)! When I figure out how to put a Mr. Linky on this, I will totally get that taken care of so that we can see what you're up to!

Papertrey Posse February Challenge

It's February....the month of LOVE. I could totally be cliche and have this month's challenge be to make a valentine, but (a) that would be too easy and (b) I can't think of red and pink right now when I'm surrounded by white......22" of snow, snow everywhere, which is fun for me because I {heart} snow! So I'm going to combine the two together, which brings me to......
The Challenge: Create a card (or project) that is all about your favorite things--images, colors, materials, etc. Here's a chance to use those stamps, felt, buttons, ribbon that you just can't get enough of! Guess what my project is going to feature? :)
The Details:
1. Create your card using at least one Papertrey Ink product.
2. Post your creation to your blog by February 15th.
3. On the 15th come back here and sign the Mr. Linky for the official Parade of Blogs!

Enjoy! Can't wait to see what you create!

January Petite Posse Challenge #1

Happy New Year!  Let's usher in 2011 with a bunch of beautiful new cards!

The Challenge: Single Layer Card

A single layer card means you can only use one sheet of cardstock!  That means the cardstock you use to make the card base is all you get to work with.  You have to be creative and think outside the box.

The Details:
1. You must use at least one Papertrey Ink product.
2. You can only use one piece of cardstock.
3. You can use as many embellishments and techniques as you want!
4. Post your card to your blog and then come back here and sign Mr. Linky so we can all see your creation!

Cheers!
